A very good morning and welcome to my lovely new followers,
thank you for joining us... looking forward to sharing the journey together!!!!

We had a fabulous weekend away in a large country hotel, all decorated with red and silver for christmas.
I met some really lovely crafters, so hi to you all and a special hi to Dawny P, it was wonderful to meet you hun and spend the day together. We were there for the Copic Certification course whoohoo!! which I can proudly display on my blog.
Thank you Wendy for a wonderful day!!! I blend with the curtains nicely lol!!

I hope to share some copic hints and tips in the future, one for now is... something I never realised
instead of constantly taking the wrong top off, there is a grey band around the end with the brush tip.
Dahhh!!! I can't believe I haven't seen it before.

I made an acetate pillow box and stamped the chocolates with white stazon as I thought the dots looked like snow I covered them with a pink stardust pen.
The stamp set is 'How sweet it is' by MFT coloured with copics E000 E00 E11 G20 G21 C1 and paper piecing on the chair and stool.
Double sided DP Daisyd's 'maybe baby collection' distressed with rose coral chalk ink
MS doylie punch... Marianne Designs scroll... punched flowers
ribbon is from my stash.

The lovely Jerusha asked us if we'd like to do a tutorial for the hop well i've had a go... hope it's ok it's my first one!!!!!
Tutorial for the gift box...

I forgot to mention score on the lines 1/2" 4" 5 3/8" and 8 7/8"

Sorry to all those who work in metric. It's just so much easier to use the Martha Stewart board, for projects like this.
At a later date I hope to start a separate tutorial section but for now it'll have to stay on the post.
Hope i've made it clear enough any questions please feel free to leave a comment and i'll edit it in.

Have a fun weekend and
HAPPY HOPPING!!!!
